Virginia senior Darion Atkins’ career is over after a 60-54 loss to Michigan State. He had 10 points and 14 rebounds; no other player had more than six rebounds, and only one player had as many points (and he had 11). After the game, Atkins expressed disappointment with how his team played:
Virginia forward Darion Atkins: ‘We played like a bunch of p*****’
Virginia didn’t make it out of the Sweet 16, and Darion Atkins was not pleased.

It’s not the first time Atkins was blunt and a tad lewd to describe the game -- here’s what he said about his matchup against Michigan State’s big men:
Darion Atkins take on tomorrow's game: "It's going to be a dick swinging contest." Then he giggled.
